Gtown SMP student/re-applicant w/ some questions. :)

Hi guys, just wanted some clarification on some things! 🙂

Ok so I got 3 interviews to med schools and was put on 3 wait lists lol. My stats are (I think) pretty good other than my gpa (3.3) cause of a lil too much partyin. I got a 32Q on my MCAT and my extracurricular/research/volunteering are on mark. So basically what I think hurt me are my gpa and the fact that I applied at the last possible second. So Gtown is my egress if my wait lists don't come through (which seems like they wont seeing how late it is..)

Anyway, my questions are A) what STATE RESIDENT NON biased schools are good to apply to if you are a Gtown SMP student. B) Am I allowed to submit the 2k5 amcas while on wait lists? That is, will doing so in anyway negatively affect my chances of matriculating off of the lists? Finally C) How will those of you who have previously applied change your amcas? I mean, I was pretty happy w/ my essay and all that nice stuff and don't think they were the reason I am in this situation. Obviously I will change it to reflect Gtown and my status there but other than that, is it recommended that you change your application (essay in particular)?

Thanx guys. 🙂

A) See link ----> http://www.georgetown.edu/departments/physiology/physios/prevclass.htm

B) No, reapplying will not change your chances.

C) Change whatever you have changed since last year. If you have done extra volunteering, add it. If there is something significant you want to add to your personal statement, change it. I think if you have nothing at all to add to your AMCAS, that tells something to the adcoms.

Good luck!
